Title: Polymer electrolyte fuel cell, method of manufacturing the same and inspection method therefor
Inventor: OHARA HIDEO
IPC: H01M50/77
Filed: 2003-03-26
Abstract: The durability of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell is very significantly improved by using a tightening pressure of about 2 to 4 kgf/cm2 of area of electrode; or a tightening pressure of about 4 to 8 kgf/cm2 of contact area between electrode and separator plate; or by selecting a value not exceeding about 1.5 mS/cm2 for the short-circuit conductivity attributed to the DC resistance component in each unit cell; or by selecting a value not exceeding about 3 mA/cm2 for the hydrogen leak current per area of electrode of each MEA.

IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 2003-05-23
Abstract: A method for determining optimal locations and values of dispersion compensating modules (DCMs) in an optical network is provided. The method comprises repeatedly evaluating possible combinations of DCM values and locations and adding to the combination having the lowest score until a solution of DCMs is formed that satisfies the dispersion limits of the network. This method provides an optimal solution with, for example, the lowest value of DCMs necessary to meet dispersion specifications. In one embodiment, the method for determining the optimal location and value of the DCMs uses a priority queue to store the different combinations of DCM values and locations. Modifications to the method include variations in the score function, for example to minimize the total cost of the DCMs. In another embodiment, a series of priority queues are used to improve the efficiency of the method by reducing the amount of processing required to sort the priority queues.

Filed: 2002-05-10
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un appareil et sur un procédé de réalisation de premier et second processus d'imagerie, l'un de ces processus détectant des incendies à partir d'images de flammes. L'appareil comprend un capteur d'image destiné à générer une image vidéo, un capteur de page-écran destiné à saisir des premières images et des secondes images, un processeur permettant de traiter les données des images et un dispositif de sortie. L'appareil peut également comprendre un mécanisme de réglage permettant de régler les paramètres du capteur d'image entre des paramètres appropriés pour des images avec flammes et des images sans flammes, et un mécanisme de commande permettant de commander les paramètres du capteur d'image. Selon ce procédé, au moins deux premières images sont générées, ainsi qu'une pluralité de secondes images. Les première et seconde images sont utilisées pour des premier et second processus qui sont des processus contemporains de sorte qu'ils soient réalisés dans la même période sans interférer avec un autre. Lorsque le premier processus est la détection de flammes, des paires individuelles de pixels possédant une propriété telle que l'intensité qui correspond à un premier seuil sont identifiées dans les premières images et sont assemblées sous forme de nuées. Des propriétés additionnelles de paires de pixels et de nuées sont évaluées globalement par rapport à des seuils additionnels. Les nuées ou pixels qui ne correspondent pas aux seuils sont exclus. Toutes nuées ou taches restant après toutes les évaluations sont considérées comme étant des incendies.
